The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Volume Three arrives on DVD next week on April 29th in a ten-disc boxed set (see the original announcement here). Here's a look at what's on the ninth disc.

Hollywood Follies (1:33:59) Having nearly been conquered by Broadway, Indy next sets his sights on Hollywood. It starts off innocently enough: a tip from George Gershwin points Indy towards Universal Studios in New York City, where he meets with movie mogul Carl Laemmle. Laemmle has a deceptively simple yet high paying assignment for Jones: to head out west and shut down an over-budget production directed by Erich Von Stroheim.

Indy charges forth where others have tried and failed, but the young man who has adventure and peril across continents appears to be no match for the fiery temper and implacable stubbornness of the eccentric Von Stroheim. The new executive at the studio, Irving Thalberg, conspires with Indy to take the film away from Von Stroheim. All the while, Indy strikes up a shaky romance with a career-oriented screenwriter named Claire.

Having survived his duel with Von Stroheim, Indy misses his return trip to Chicago and is flat broke. He needs money to continue his studies, so he joins John Ford's production to make a western outside of Los Angeles. When one of the stars accidentally dies, Indy fills in, getting some quick acting lessons from Harry Carey and tips on authenticity from advisor Wyatt Earp. Ford's film features a show-topping stunt -- a jump from horse to carriage including a hair-raising turn being dragged from behind the cart, a trick that will serve Indy well in, oh, 16 years or so.

Hollywood Follies stars Sean Patrick Flanery as Indy. Guest stars include Allison Smith ("The West Wing") as Claire, Bill Cusack (Lords of Dogtown) as Irving Thalberg, Julia Campbell ("Still Standing") as Kitty, David Margulies ("The Sopranos") as Carl Laemmle, Peter Dennis (Sideways) as Pete, Tom Beckett ("Remember WENN") as George Gershwin, Luigi Amodeo ("The Bold and the Beautiful") as Massimo, J.D. Hinton as Harry Carey, Leo Gordon (The Intruder) as Wyatt Earp, with Stephen Caffrey ("Tour of Duty") as John Ford, and Dana Gladstone ("Amazing Stories") as Erich Von Stroheim.

Erich von Stroheim: The Profligate Genius (0:32:52) He was unmistakable. With his suave demeanor, impeccable wardrobe and bullet head, on screen Erich Von Stroheim played sadistic and sometimes seductive Prussians. As a director, von Stroheim earned a reputation for unparalleled egomania, arrogance and self indulgence. Though he was fired by nearly every studio he worked for and most of his films he directed were finished by others, or destroyed, what remains offers a glimpse of one of Hollywood's pioneers, one whom everyone loved to hate. Produced by Adam Sternberg

The Rise of the Moguls: The Men Who Built Hollywood (0:25:40) To the outside world Hollywood seemed like a magic place. Here, the sun was always shining, everyone had a swimming pool, and glamorous people earned enormous salaries working in factories called movie studios. Every year millions of fans bought tickets to see the studios' latest releases, but no one traveled farther to get here, or worked harder to get to the top, than the men who built the studios and ruled them like feudal overlords. Men who started out with nothing, and transformed themselves into Hollywood's movie Moguls. Produced by Mark Page and Jennifer Petrucelli

Irving Thalberg: Hollywood's Boy Wonder (0:32:30) Named for one of Hollywood's most legendary filmmakers, the Thalberg Award is given to "creative producers personally responsible for a consistently high quality of motion picture production." A standard of quality set during Hollywood's golden age, by Irving G. Thalberg himself. Produced by Mark Page and Jennifer Petrucelli

The World of John Ford (0:33:18) People called it the Dust Bowl, an environmental disaster that struck the Great Plains in the late 1930s, when the country was already reeling under the Depression. John Steinbeck's best-selling novel, The Grapes of Wrath, profiled some of the hardest hit: tenant farmers forced off their land and into migrant labor far from home. When the movie version was announced, people worried that Hollywood would ruin it. They didn't need to. It was directed by John Ford. Produced and Written by Sharon Wood
